Abstract Dr Dorothy Klenke Nash (1898-1976) became the first female neurosurgeon in the United States in 1928 and maintained her status as the country's only female neurosurgeon until 1960. She graduated with her medical degree from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1927 and then trained at the Neurologic Institute of New York under Dr Byron Stookey. During her training, she contributed to the advancement of neurosurgical practice through academic research. In 1931, she married Charles B. Nash, and together they had 2 children, George (1932) and Dorothy Patricia (1937). Dr Nash became a senior surgeon at St. Margaret's Hospital in Pittsburgh in 1942. Shortly thereafter, she joined the inaugural University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurosurgery led by Dr Stuart N. Rowe and became an instructor of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. In acknowledgment of her advocacy for public access to services for mental health and cerebral palsy, Dr Nash was recognized as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania (1953) and honored by Mercy Hospital (1957), Bryn Mawr College (1960), and Columbia University (1968). She retired from neurosurgical practice in 1965, at which time she devoted herself to her grandchildren and her Catholic faith. She died on March 5, 1976 at the age of 77. With unwavering tenacity, Dr Nash paved the way for all women in neurosurgery.

Purpose: Recently, the American College of Graduate Medical Education included medical decision-making as a core competency in several specialties. To date, the ability to demonstrate and measure a pedagogical evolution of medical judgment in a medical education program has been limited. In this study, we aim to examine differences in medical decision-making of physician groups in distinctly different stages of their postgraduate career. Methods: The study recruited physicians with a wide spectrum of disciplines and levels of experience to take part in 4 medical simulations divided into 2 categories, abdominal pain (biliary colic [BC] and renal colic [RC]) or chest pain (cardiac ischemia with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI] and pneumothorax [PTX]). Evaluation of medical decision-making used the Medical Judgment Metric (MJM). The targeted selection criteria for the physician groups are administrative physicians (APs), representing those with the most experience but whose current duties are largely administrative; resident physicians (RPs), those enrolled in postgraduate medical or surgical training; and mastery level physicians (MPs), those deemed to have mastery level experience. The study measured participant demographics, physiological responses, medical judgment scores, and simulation time to case resolution. Outcome differences were analyzed using Fisher exact tests with post hoc Bonferroni-adjusted z tests and single-factor analysis of variance F tests with post hoc Tukey honestly significant difference, as appropriate. The significance threshold was set at P < .05. Effect sizes were determined and reported to inform future studies. Results: A total of n = 30 physicians were recruited for the study with n = 10 participants in each physician group. No significant differences were found in baseline demographics between groups. Analysis of simulations showed a significant ( P = .002) interaction for total simulation time between groups RP: 6.2 minutes (±1.58); MP: 8.7 minutes (±2.46); and AP: 10.3 minutes (±2.78). The AP MJM scores, 12.3 (±2.66), for the RC simulation were significantly ( P = .010) lower than the RP 14.7 (±1.15) and MP 14.7 (±1.15) MJM scores. Analysis of simulated patient outcomes showed that the AP group was significantly less likely to stabilize the participant in the RC simulation than MP and RP groups ( P = .040). While not significant, all MJM scores for the AP group were lower in the BC, STEMI, and PTX simulations compared with the RP and MP groups. Conclusions: Physicians in distinctly different stages of their respective postgraduate career differed in several domains when assessed through a consistent high-fidelity medical simulation program. Further studies are warranted to accurately assess pedagogical differences over the medical judgment lifespan of a physician.

Background:Methotrexate (MTX), an effective disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) [2], is the most widely used DMARD for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, not all patients are responsive to the drug; 30% of the patients discontinue therapy within 1 year of commencing the treatment, usually because of the lack of efficacy or undesirable adverse effects Small-molecule Janus kinase inhibitors are clinically developed for the treatment of RA.Objectives:The aim of this study is to investigate the relative efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib in comparison with adalimumab in patients with active RA and having inadequate responses to MTX.Methods:We performed a Bayesian network meta-analysis to combine direct and indirect evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to examine the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib, and adalimumab in RA patients having inadequate responses to MTX.Results:Four RCTs, comprising 5,451 patients, met the inclusion criteria. The baricitinib 4mg+MTX and upadacitinib 15mg+MTX group showed a significantly higher American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response rate than the adalimumab 40mg+MTX group. The ranking probability based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) indicated that baricitinib 4mg+MTX had the highest probability of being the best treatment for achieving the ACR20 response rate, followed by upadacitinib 15mg+MTX, tofacitinib 5mg+MTX, filgotinib 200mg+MTX, filgotinib 100mg+MTX, adalimumab 40mg+MTX, and placebo+MTX. The upadacitinib 15mg+MTX and baricitinib 4mg+MTX groups showed significantly higher ACR50 and ACR70 response rates than adalimumab 40mg+MTX. In terms of Herpes zoster infection, the ranking probability based on the SUCRA indicated that placebo+MTX were likely to be the safest treatments, followed by filgotinib 200mg+MTX, filgotinib 100mg+MTX, adalimumab 40mg+MTX, tofacitinib 5mg+MTX, upadacitinib 15mg+MTX, and baricitinib 4mg+MTX. Regarding safety analysis, no statistically significant differences were found between the respective intervention groups.Conclusion:In RA patients with an inadequate response to MTX, baricitinib 4mg+MTX and upadacitinib 15mg+MTX showed the highest ACR response rates, suggesting a difference in efficacy among the different JAK inhibitors.References:[1]Fleischmann R, Mysler E, Hall S, Kivitz AJ, Moots RJ, Luo Z, DeMasi R, Soma K, Zhang R, Takiya LJTL (2017) Efficacy and safety of tofacitinib monotherapy, tofacitinib with methotrexate, and adalimumab with methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (ORAL Strategy): a phase 3b/4, double-blind, head-to-head, randomised controlled trial. 390:457-468[2]Taylor PC, Keystone EC, van der Heijde D et al (2017) Baricitinib versus Placebo or Adalimumab in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has afflicted every individual and has initiated a cascade of directly or indirectly involved events in precipitating mental health issues. The human species is a wanderer and hunter-gatherer by nature, and physical social distancing and nationwide lockdown have confined an individual to physical isolation. The present review article was conceived to address psychosocial and other issues and their aetiology related to the current pandemic of COVID-19. The elderly age group has most suffered the wrath of SARS-CoV-2, and social isolation as a preventive measure may further induce mental health issues. Animal model studies have demonstrated an inappropriate interacting endogenous neurotransmitter milieu of dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, and opioids, induced by social isolation that could probably lead to observable phenomena of deviant psychosocial behavior. Conflicting and manipulated information related to COVID-19 on social media has also been recognized as a global threat. Psychological stress during the current pandemic in frontline health care workers, migrant workers, children, and adolescents is also a serious concern. Mental health issues in the current situation could also be induced by being quarantined, uncertainty in business, jobs, economy, hampered academic activities, increased screen time on social media, and domestic violence incidences. The gravity of mental health issues associated with the pandemic of COVID-19 should be identified at the earliest. Mental health organization dedicated to current and future pandemics should be established along with Government policies addressing psychological issues to prevent and treat mental health issues need to be developed.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the fastest-growing cause of death around the world, and atherosclerosis plays a major role in the etiology of CVDs. The most recent figures show that the total number of CVD patients worldwide surged from 271 million in 1990 to 523 million in 2019. Furthermore, globally, the number of fatalities caused by coronary artery disease (CAD) went up from 1.2 million in 1990 to 18.6 million in 2019.1 The morbidity and mortality rates for patients with heart failure (HF) are still too high, despite being given the therapy according to the recommended guidelines.2 HF strains the public health system, so better treatment options are required. According to different studies, in HF, the manifestation of ventricular and vascular remodeling, as well as the progression of the illness, may be influenced by elevated oxidative stress.3,4 The most prevalent form of inflammatory arthritis in the world, gout, correlates with CVDs and is a standalone predictor of all-cause death.5,6 An important therapeutic target and potential contributor to oxidative stress is the enzyme xanthine oxidase (XO). Oxidative stress is a state in which there is excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The key generators of ROS are oxidant-producing enzymes, which are increased in various disease conditions.7 Superoxide and uric acid (UA) are produced due to increased XO activity during purine metabolism. In addition to being the primary cause of gout, elevated xanthine oxidase is also to blame for several clinical illnesses linked to hyperuricemia, such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, chronic wounds, and Alzheimer's disease. Numerous studies have shown a direct connection between high urate levels and CVDs. The generation of urate crystals is a complicated process. Since the same enzyme that makes urate also causes the creation of ROS. According to some research, the urate molecule can scavenge in vitro free radicals and acute urate infusions help at-risk population restore their endothelial function.8,9 More and more evidence suggests that XO activity plays a significant role in target organ damage and tissue destruction rather than UA itself. The formation of UA requires the xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) enzyme, and XOR is composed of XO and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH). By posttranslational modification, XDH is transformed into XO, which catalyzes the final two steps of the processes that change hypoxanthine into xanthine and xanthine into UA. During this process, superoxide and hydrogen peroxide are produced. As a result, ROS can be produced when XO is activated, which might cause tissue damage. Nitric oxide (NO) and circulating XO can directly interact when the latter binds to vascular cells, causing NO levels to drop and peroxynitrite levels to rise. On the other hand, uric acid transporters (UATs) have been identified to mediate the effects of serum UA on vascular endothelial cells or smooth muscle cells, as URAT1 is only expressed on these cells and provides a route for UA to access these cells. By delaying NO generation and accelerating its breakdown, UA reduces NO levels when it enters endothelial cells.4 The organic anion transport inhibitor probenecid prevents UA-induced vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. It reduces the generation of NO in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, suggesting that UATs are the mechanism via which UA exerts its impact.5 These findings pose the concern of whether the reduction in serum UA or the suppression of XO activity is more crucial for preventing cardiovascular and other tissue damage. However, in in vivo studies, UA performs pro- and antioxidant functions. When serum UA concentrations rise beyond 6 mg/dL, UA is taken up by vascular endothelial cells, which then triggers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, UA causes the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells at levels of 9 mg/dL and higher. In other words, an excessively significant increase in the serum UA level might cause oxidative stress, alter the equilibrium between oxidation and antioxidants, and result in damage to vascular endothelial cells.10 Previous studies have shown that severe hyperuricemia, which lowers ejection fraction and is related to symptoms even worse, exercise intolerance, and decreased survival, is present in about 25% of individuals with heart failure (HF).11,12 Serum UA levels must be considered when calculating HF risk scores and may be used to identify high-risk patients for potential XO inhibition therapy.13,14 The approved treatment regimens for gout have significant implications for individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to varied levels of cardiovascular and HF benefits and risks. Therefore, it is essential to treat acute gout flares while reducing the risk of severe cardiovascular events and managing hyperuricemia using urate-lowering treatment.15 Allopurinol is a powerful XO inhibitor that can potentially reverse several HF pathophysiological processes, including impaired calcium sensitivity, accelerated anaerobic metabolism, mechanoenergetic uncoupling, and energy depletion. Allopurinol has been found in studies to improve cardiac efficiency and decrease oxygen consumption in both animals and humans with HF.16,17 Allopurinol, febuxostat, and topiroxostat, the commonly prescribed xanthine oxidase inhibitors used in clinical practice, suffer from fatal side effects that constitute a severe dilemma for the healthcare system and have sparked a global emergency to find novel, potent, and safer xanthine oxidase inhibitors.9 Herbal medications are utilized worldwide due to their effectiveness, affordability, accessibility, and safety.18 The conventional medical community holds colchicine in the highest regard. Colchicine's uses have been expanded from the treatment of gout to CVDs due to its special anti-inflammatory qualities and recent knowledge of chronic inflammation's role in several human diseases.1 According to contemporary therapeutic jargon, Colchicine's recent use in the setting of CVDs is an example of successful pharmacological repurposing. Pericarditis is now considered to be included in routine treatment, and its impact on coronary artery disease, postpericardiotomy syndrome, and percutaneous coronary interventions has been the subject of numerous clinical studies. Several effective clinical trials have expanded our understanding of reducing inflammation in the management of cardiovascular disease and given us new perspectives on how inflammation affects CVDs.19 Future research towards safer and more efficient ways to treat CVDs is encouraged. Herbal remedies are a viable choice since they are accessible, safe, and efficient; however, further research is required to determine whether they can be used to treat CVDs in gout and hyperuricemia patients.18 Conflict of interest: Authors declared no conflict of interest.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels can be used to assess humoral immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination, and may predict risk of future infection. Higher levels of SARS-CoV-2 anti-Spike antibodies are known to be associated with increased protection against future SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, variation in antibody levels and risk factors for lower antibody levels following each round of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination have not been explored across a wide range of socio-demographic, SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination, and health factors within population-based cohorts. Methods: Samples were collected from 9,361 individuals from TwinsUK and ALSPAC UK population-based longitudinal studies and tested for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Cross-sectional sampling was undertaken jointly in April-May 2021 (TwinsUK, N = 4,256; ALSPAC, N = 4,622), and in TwinsUK only in November 2021-January 2022 (N = 3,575). Variation in antibody levels after first, second, and third SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with health, socio-demographic, SARS-CoV-2 infection and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination variables were analysed. Using multivariable logistic regression models, we tested associations between antibody levels following vaccination and: (1) SARS-CoV-2 infection following vaccination(s); (2) health, socio-demographic, SARS-CoV-2 infection and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination variables. Results: Within TwinsUK, single-vaccinated individuals with the lowest 20% of anti-Spike antibody levels at initial testing had 3-fold greater odds of SARS-CoV-2 infection over the next six to nine months (OR = 2.9, 95% CI: 1.4, 6.0), compared to the top 20%. In TwinsUK and ALSPAC, individuals identified as at increased risk of COVID-19 complication through the UK 'Shielded Patient List' had consistently greater odds (2- to 4-fold) of having antibody levels in the lowest 10%. Third vaccination increased absolute antibody levels for almost all individuals, and reduced relative disparities compared with earlier vaccinations. Conclusions: These findings quantify the association between antibody level and risk of subsequent infection, and support a policy of triple vaccination for the generation of protective antibodies. Funding: Antibody testing was funded by UK Health Security Agency. The National Core Studies program is funded by COVID-19 Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing - National Core Study (LHW-NCS) HMT/UKRI/MRC (MC_PC_20030 & MC_PC_20059). Related funding was also provided by the NIHR 606 (CONVALESCENCE grant COV-LT-0009). TwinsUK is funded by the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, Versus Arthritis, European Union Horizon 2020, Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF), Zoe Ltd and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network (CRN) and Biomedical Research Centre based at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with King's College London. The UK Medical Research Council and Wellcome (Grant ref: 217065/Z/19/Z) and the University of Bristol provide core support for ALSPAC.

The objective of this article is to explore how suitable Team-Based Learning (TBL) is for students with social and communication disabilities, such as those on the autism spectrum or with social anxiety. TBL is a structured form of Active Collaborative Learning, combining a flipped classroom approach with students working in permanent teams to apply concepts, models and theories into practice. The design of the study was based on an idiographic case study approach at Anglia Ruskin University, UK, treating each student as an individual rather than a representative sample. Towards the end of the academic year 2017/18, an electronic questionnaire was sent out to all students who had taken TBL modules at ARU during the preceding academic year, asking about various aspects of TBL experience. The questionnaire was repeated towards the end of the first semester of 2018/19. The questionnaire was analysed with a focus on questions relating to inclusivity, and the responses related to students who had declared a disability. The questionnaire was followed by semi-structured interviews with students with disabilities who had experienced TBL. We focused primarily on disabilities broadly related to communication, notably with dyslexia, dysgraphia, social phobia and autism that may impair students’ abilities to work in teams. Interviews were audio recorded and then transcribed. Transcriptions were thematically analysed by the research team using NVivo. The results of the study provide anonymized case studies for each of the students who took part in an interview, explaining their disability or condition, their coping strategies for studying in HE, and their experiences, both positive and negative, of the TBL modules they had taken.
